Junior team surprises themselves with win The. South Huron junior girls volleyball team sur- prised even themselves •at last Thursday's Huron -Perth semi-final tournament in Stratford, Where; they won five of eight games to qualify for tomorrow's final.' "I knew they could do it, but I really didn't think we were • going to. They cer- tainly settled down after their- first match against Stratford," said coach Pat • Rowe after the team's shocking performance.

However, the team rebounded to win 15-12, 15-4 against Seaforth. After a marathon 19-17 loss to Listowel, Rowe was fearful the team would lapse back into its regular season depression. But, Brenda Bell, one of the teams two veterans, sufficiently revived the team for a 15-11 decision in the second game against the Lords. • In their final two games, the Panthers scored 15-12, 15- 4 victories againsta dispirited Stratford Nor- thwestern team that had been highly favoured coming into the tourney. The key to the team's success, ac- cording to Rowe, was an improved attitude which resulted in better execution, "We're going to have to play well again this week if we hope to break the top three," said Rowe. Stratford Central, as yet undefeated in season play, is 'the heavy favourite to win tomorrow's Huron- Perth final. Senior volleyball The ' South Huron senior -girls volleyball team won eight of their 10 games and were second in their qualifying pool at the Huron - Perth semi-finals. Thursday in Stratford. "We would have been first, except for a flaw in our defence," said coach Joe Fulop. "We're set up for hard-hitting spikers, while Wingham concentrates on tipping the ball." The Panthers only losses of the day were against Wingham, 15-11, 154. In their \\other games, South Huron won games against St. Marys, Seaforth, Mitchell, Norwell and Madill. Although he concedes first place to Stratford Central, Fulop does feel the team has, a shot at second place and a berth in the WOSSA tourna- ment. "We're hoping to be second.

Three years ago,with the Impetus of teacher Doug Ellison, the student council embarked on an ambitious schedule of recreational activities for students and teachers in the noon hours and after school. The initial intent of the scheme was to provide an alternative to interschool teams, but that has since changed. "We've tried to de- emphasize competition and make it as instructured as passible. We've come to the conclusion that those people who want serious com- petition will play interschool sports" said intramural advisor and teacher Colin Lowndes. "Our primary goal now is fun." Declining . enrollment usually has negative con- notations, but for the in! tramurals at South Huron the drop in school population has been a blessing of sorts "Fewer students means that we free up the gymnasium at noon for activities,", notes Lowndes. As well, this year, almost all of the students have the same lunch hour thus avoiding the problem of having to schedule activities for two different lunches. According to Lowndes, there are multiple benefits of the intramural program, not the least of which Is an improvement in the physical fitness of the participants. Although, he concedes that many teachers have marking and work to do in their lunch hours. • Lowndes would like more teachers, other than the twelve who supervise now, to become actively involved in the sports. "It's a terrific BIGGER AND BIGGER -- One of the events at the Precious Blood.

One of tie mast popular activities this year in ad- dition to the perenially popular broomball, has been road hockey. With over 150 participants on 19 teams road hQek(ey, new this year , at South Huron generated infectious enthusiasm among. players and spec- tators like Donna Pratt, sports- convener credits the sport's popularity to more than the local appetite for hockey. "The fact that students could Make up teams with their friends made it ettpecially attractive. It was an opportunity to get outside and enjoywinter", she said. $Although eight', of the nineteen road hockey team were composed of girls, Lowndes admits that it is difficult to find sports that appeal to girls. In an attempt to rectify this .problem, the executive has scheduled jazz dance as an activity in the third term. One of the less tangible but nonetheless important benefits of running an in- tramural program, ac- cording to Lowndes, is the management train the executive and represen- tative" acquire. "With in- creased union strength often limiting the actual disciplinary action a manager can use, he is going to have to depend on positive motivation in the job situation", concluded Lowndes. Chairperson Ronnalee Bogart, executives Marilyn Brand,. Lori Brand, Jamie Chaffe and John McAllister, as well as thethirty-five intramural homeroom representatives have met the frustrations ' of motivating apathetic student heads. according to' Lowndes. Although he would like greater par - New supervisor for student jobs Once again the Canada Employment Centre for Students is open and ready for business. This year, however, there is a ' new supervisor - Jim Thorne. Jim formerly lived in the Maritimes and graduated from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia with a B.A. in history and political science in 1981. Jim admits that he will have to learn much about the local en- vironment and economy but nevertheless, he looks for- ward to meeting both the area students and em- ployers. The Canada Employment Centre for Students in Goderich is located above the Post Office on 35 East Street. The office has been open since February 1 and its hours of operation are Monday to Friday 8:15 a,m. to 4:30 p.m. The one other area office is located on 305 Main Street in Exeter. Between these two offices, the whole of Huron County is looked after with the ex- ceptions of Grey, Turnberry and Howick Townships. The Exeter office will not be open until April when Jim plans to spend one day a week taking care of Exeter area registrations. Until then, Exeter students can register with their main Canada Employment Centre. Jim encourages students to come in to see him at the Employment Centre as soon as possible. After they have registered, Jim urges the students to come in and see him again every two weeks at least. However, he stresses that if students are really interested in being employed this summer., they had Netter keep checking the newspapers themselves along with arranging inter- views with employees on their own initiative.

"Both teams played well, but we just weren t able to give that little extra to get us over the hump", said coach Terry O'Rotirke about the team's close loss, only the third so far this year in regular season action. The Panthers host Palmerston today in their final regular season game. Steve Ferguson had 18 points and Derek Hippern scored 17 for South Huron in the losing cause Steve Merner added five points. Barring a loss to Norwell today, the Panthers should end the season in third or fourth place; the team's quarter -final would then be. at home.

Superintendent of education John McCauley presented information currently being studied by educatI the special n steering committee. Recommendations from the committee will be brought to the board on April 12, he anticipated. All boards of education across the province are to present their special, education_ implementation plans to the Ministry of Education by the beginning of May. One of the major tasks required by the board is to collect -all information on exceptional pupils within its jurisdiction. This is currently being done by a needs assessment com- mittee. To start, the board has to submit a policy statement, and McCauley said the board does have a general policy on aims and objectives. As part of this, the board has to state how the exceptional students will be educated, in their own school in a withdrawal . program, in a self-contained class or by purchasing services from other agen- cies. McCauley said presently in the Huron -Perth Separate School system there is a resource teacher for with- drawal programs in each school. He added there are •three self-contained classes, but no schools for the trainable mentally retarded. He said up until Bill 82 was passed, separateschool boards did not have the right to have a school for the trainable mentally retarded. Part of the duties of the Needs assessment com- mittee are to gather in- formation on Catholic students in schools for the trainable mentally retarded operated by the public boards. The numbers will determine the outcome, but it is 'expected the Huron - Perth board will purchase services from the public boards. Two other areas being looked at include pupils in a school such as John Roberts School in London and the developmentally handica- pped pupil. A fourth area effects the gifted pupil, for whom the board has no present program. Revenue for special education will come from three, possibly four different grant structures from the Ministry. Two are based on formulas, and one is a possible grant for the trainable mentally retarded. The fourth area is a special educaton grant, based on 1982 dollars. In 1982, the board will receive $125 per pupil. in'1983$135 per pupil, 1984. *145 per pupil and 1985 $155 per pupil. The Ministry has said it will adjust an- nually for inflation. Director of Education Bill Eckert said this is not new money, referring to the special education grant as the board has been receiving this and in 1981, the figure was $110.80 per pupil. Jim Thorne by employers. Under the Summer Canada - '82 Student Employment Program, over 40,000 summer jobs will be created for students across Canada in the areas of community and federal projects and with ttie Public Service Commission. All the ap- plication forms and ad- dresses for these programs are available from Jim at the Goderich office if, students or employers are interested. Presently, the minimum wage for students under 18 is $2.65 and for students 18 and over it is 53.50, construction being $3.75. The minimum ages for employment in different fields are as follows: office work and sale9 - 14 years, general industry - 15 years, con- struction - 16 years and to serve liquor to customers or "patrons as,part of the job - 18 years. This summer, Jim hopes to keep up the good reputation that the Canada Employment Centre for Students in Goderich has enjoyed in the past. He urges students who do not have Social insurance cards to apply for them right away and looks forward to sup- plying both students and employers with the benefits of his cost-free selection and referral service. South Huron, Thursday. "They controlled the boards. We didn't have the personnel to matchup against them" said coach Terry O'Rourke about the Listowel team. Dave Woodward shot well from the outside to lead the Panthers with 14.. South Huron's centre, John Mol, could only manage seven points as he was outrebound- ed at both ends of the court. John McAllister added six points, Kevin Parsons had eight points as the Panthers mounted a fourth quarter comeback, cutting Listowel's lead by eight points. Down by 15 points at the half, . South Huron fought back to win 42-36 over the Lancers, Monday, in Petrolia. Panther scoring was even as Dave Woodward and Brent Atthill each had eight points, while Bruce Shaw and Kevin Parsons scored seven points apiece. Paso 19 for granted way to reach that non- participating majority is to try again a program of electives run by teachers and students with mutual Interests. "Athletics aren't for everyone. We . need to provide alternatives like chess, bridge, and music for example". He stresses that the initiative for an elective program must come from staff members, because, at present, the existing staff is stretched to Its limits. The intramural executive would provide organizational and financial backing, he added. Moreover, Lowndes suggests that an intramural program can be the solution to behaviour problems at noon. "We can't really blame them for making a nuisance of themselves, U we don't offer them alter- natives", he said. Students foiled in Reach For Top It was a long trip home from Wingham Thursday night for South Huron's Reach for the Top team after their 285-215 loss to Stratford Central in the CKNX station final. . This is the third con- , secutive year that a win in the final, that would bring summer scholarships at Wilfrid Laurier University and a right to compete at the provincial level, has eluded the local foursome. This year's team of Bryan Beer, Dave Creery, Kevin Glasgow and Matt McClure beat themselves according to coach Bill Johnston. "The questions were there but we were only right about 35 per cent of the time. You can't win when you do that. We really were the better team but we folded under the pressure." - For three year veterans McClure and Glasgow, and Beer this is the last chance ' at the elusive station title. "After three years, it sure would have been nice to win. It would have made all those hours of practice wor- thwhile", said Glasgow after the loss.

T A photo Middlesex teachers meet Teachers from the five Middlesex County high schools - Glencoe Lord Dorchester, Medway North Middlesex and Strathroy D.C.I. - met in London recently for their annual Professional Development Day. - The Professional Development Committee of District 41 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation provided a stimulating and varied programme. In ttte morning, teachers attended one of five sessions: micro computers, behaviour modification. SERP, back ache and relaxation, therapy, or technical. David Hughes, Provincial President of OSSTF, discussed concerns arising from the Secondary Education Review Project. If adopted as policy by the provincial government, this study paper would con- siderably alter 'education in Ontario. (Probably the most publicized recommendation is the reduction of high school to four years from five.) . The three main thrusts of SERP area single 30 credit diploma, education of special groups, and an in- crease in compulsory credits. Mr. Hughes stressed that teachers must have input into the final policy which emerges from SERP and must decide whether or not to support this policy. In the afternoon, high schoolteachers participated in a joint session with their elementary colleagues. Barbara Amiel, a writer for Maclean's magazine and assistant editor of "the Toronto Sun newspaper, spoke on "Educational Trends in the 80's." Miss Amiel believes strongly in Canadian law and democracy, and feels the most important function of the educational system is to create tog,$cal and critical thinking ctitizens. Rather than promoting a dangerous and destructive belief that everyone should be equal "at the finish line", education's role is to pr(ivide an equal start. Having herself overcome a lack of family support and financial security, it is not surprising that Miss Amiel believes in the radically old- fashioned notion that ability and effort should be the keys to success!
